HMI/SCADA Design, Alarms & Reporting

This course provides comprehensive knowledge of front-end design for HMI and SCADA systems used in industrial automation and process control. Participants learn to develop effective mimics, graphics, animations, and operator-friendly screen layouts. The course covers configuration and management of real-time and historical trends for process monitoring and analysis. It explains alarm configuration, alarm priorities, alarm displays, and trip indications for effective plant operation. Participants also learn database management and the generation of operational and performance reports. The course introduces ESR/SOE functionality for event and sequence analysis. Alarm and trip summaries are covered to support troubleshooting and operational review. The course also explains alarm rationalisation techniques to reduce nuisance alarms and improve operator response. Practical considerations for HMI/SCADA visualization, usability, and process information management are discussed. Overall, the course helps participants develop structured and reliable HMI/SCADA interfaces for industrial applications.
